The vassal states of the Yuan Dynasty were Korea, Myanmar, Annan, Zhancheng and the four great khanates. Among them, there are two directly subordinate vassal States, namely, the Koryo Dynasty and the Bagan Dynasty in Myanmar, which are divided into the eastbound province and the central province in Myanmar. In northwest China, 1268, the Wokuotai Khanate Haidu attempted to recapture the Khanate, and joined hands with Qincha Khanate and Chahetai Khanate to fight against the Yuan Dynasty, which was known as the Haidu Rebellion.

Until 1304 Yuan Chengzong period, the Yuan court reached a peace agreement with the Three Great Khan States, and together with the Yili Khan State, it recognized the suzerain status of the Yuan Dynasty and became a vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty. In addition, Yuan Chengzong also gave the monarch of Ilihan a Chinese seal, such as "The True Emperor and the Treasure of Wan Yi", which essentially recognized its independence.

During the Yuan Wuzong period of 13 10, the Yuan Dynasty and the Chahetai khanate jointly attacked and wiped out the Wokuotai khanate.
